Narrative

On 11/21/2019, employees were securing the crawler crane's boom and the headache ball to the barge so they could transfer the crane to another work location. When the crane operator lowered the boom, the line that held the headache ball 30 feet up in the air released and the headache ball fell. It bounced on the deck of the barge and struck the injured employee who was assisting in securing the lines to the barge. The employee's right toe was crushed and later amputated.
